Hoerbiger to Deliver Hydrogen Compressor Packages for Agder Hydrogen Hub's Facility in Norway
Key Ideas
- Agder Hydrogen Hub AS has selected Hoerbiger to provide two HCP 500 hydrogen compressor packages for their new hydrogen production facility in Fiskå, Kristiansand, Norway.
- The facility, owned by Greenstat and La Française de l’Energie, aims to supply green hydrogen to the maritime industry through a 60 MW plant, with a 20 MW facility expected to start in late 2026 and a 40 MW plant in 2027.
- The HCP 500 compressor packages feature Hoerbiger's eHydroCOM system for capacity control and an Ariel KBH compressor, catering to electrolyzers and trailer filling applications with a high mass flow of over 250 kg/h.
- Greenstat and FDE, the majority shareholder of the project, are focused on developing zero-emission solutions and promoting green energy through their respective roles in the project.
Agder Hydrogen Hub AS has partnered with Hoerbiger to procure two HCP 500 hydrogen compressor packages for their upcoming hydrogen production facility in Fiskå, Kristiansand, Norway. This facility, spearheaded by Greenstat and La Française de l’Energie (FDE), is designed to meet the increasing demand for green hydrogen in the maritime industry. The project will be executed in two phases, with a 20 MW facility scheduled to begin operations by late 2026, followed by a larger 40 MW plant in 2027.
The chosen compressor packages boast Hoerbiger's advanced eHydroCOM system, offering precise capacity control, and feature an Ariel KBH compressor known for its high mass flow rate. These attributes make the HCP 500 compressors suitable for trailer filling applications and heavy-duty refueling stations, aligning perfectly with the hydrogen production requirements.
Greenstat, a prominent Norwegian green energy company, focuses on developing sustainable projects and supporting external ventures that contribute to emissions reduction and environmental preservation. On the other hand, FDE, headquartered in France, specializes in local energy systems and the circular economy, emphasizing the importance of green value creation.
The collaboration between these entities underscores a collective commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions and promoting the adoption of hydrogen as a clean fuel source within the maritime sector, highlighting a positive outlook for sustainable energy development in the region.
